Second edition of this famous Latin lexicon, or vocabulary, of the Latin tongue by Dionysius Nestor. This copy of this important Italian humanistic and grammatical work was owned by an illustrious Italian Count in the late eighteenth century. The author flourished in the middle of the fifteenth century and was purportedly a Franciscan monk from Novara, but no other particulars of his life are recorded. He dedicated his work in a copy of verses to Ludovico Sforza (1452-1508), Duke of Milan, famously known as the duke to commission the Last Supper from Leonardo Da Vinci. Publishers Leonardus Pachel and Uldericus Scinzenzeler of Milan first printed this work under the title of "Onomasticon" in 1483. The Vocabularius was so important to the study of the Latin language, that it was reprinted four times. The second edition, as here, is 1488 and produced in Venice, and the "Vocabularius" appeared also in 1496, 1502, and 1507. Nestor favored an unusual arrangement of the lexicon. The word being defined is listed in the right hand margin, while an etymological explanation and one or more contextual examples are given in the main text, and the names of exemplary authors are listed in the left hand margin. The bound in work, a rare fifteenth century compendium on the amount of syllables in words, was written by Johannes Sulpitius Verulanus. He was rhetorician, professor, and chair of grammar at the University of Rome and author of several other grammatical and verse works at the end of the fifteenth century. ISTC in00014000.
